Crude oil prices initially jumped more than +4% on Monday on a flare-up in hostilities between Iran and Israel that threatens to derail a truce and complicate negotiations to end the war.  Israel said it struck several military targets in Iran today, retaliating against missile attacks by Iran, and the Tasnim News Agency reported that Iran said it is prepared for a long-term war with Israel and for strikes on American interests.  However, crude prices gave up most of their gains when Iran signaled an end to its current military operations against Israel, and President Trump said the two sides were looking to agree to an immediate ceasefire. 

The markets are discounting a 3% chance of a +25 bp rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.

Overseas stock markets settled mixed on Monday.  The Euro Stoxx 50 fell to a 2-week low and closed unchanged.  China's Shanghai Composite dropped to a 2-month low and closed down -1.70%.  Japan's Nikkei Stock Average slid to a 2-week low and closed down -3.85%.

Interest Rates

September 10-year T-notes (ZNU6) on Monday closed down -1.5 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield rose +1.8 bp to 4.548%.  Sep T-note prices fell to a 2-week low on Monday, and the 10-year T-note yield climbed to a 2-week high of 4.580%.  T-notes were pressured by some negative carryover from last Friday’s stronger-than-expected increase in US May nonfarm payrolls and a sharp upside revision to April nonfarm payrolls, bolstering speculation that the next Fed move will be an interest rate increase.  Also, Monday’s stock recovery has curbed safe-haven demand for T-notes.  In addition, supply pressures are bearish for T-notes as the Treasury will auction $119 billion of T-notes and T-bonds this week, beginning with Tuesday’s $58 billion auction of 3-year T-notes. 

Losses in T-notes were limited as inflation expectations eased after crude oil prices gave up sharp overnight gains when President Trump said Iran and Israel are “looking to do” an immediate ceasefire.  The 10-year breakeven inflation rate fell to a 1.5-month low of 2.452% on Monday.

European government bond yields moved higher on Monday.  The 10-year German Bund yield climbed to a 2-week high of 3.073% and finished up +2.2 bp to 3.060%.  The 10-year UK gilt yield rose to a 2-week high of 4.958% and finished up +4.0 bp to 4.943%.

The Eurozone Jun Sentix investor confidence index rose by +3.0 to -3.4, stronger than expectations of -14.0.

German Apr factory orders fell -3.8% m/m, weaker than expectations of -2.0% m/m.

Swaps are discounting a 100% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on Thursday.
